Montana State

Really, not a lot when it comes to injuries on a week to week basis. Am I off on that? I'm using Holm as an example from earlier this year, who was listed as a starter for a couple weeks, but never played. I did look at the notes for this week and can't find the two deep, so I'm not sure where @MoSiouxFan found this weeks.

I may make it to the game, but not sure yet. Will a walk up ticket be a reasonable assumption or do I need to seek one out ahead of time?

Gonna guess walk up should work.

Farmers and anyone who can help will HOPEFULLY be back in the fields by this weekend. That curbs not only them but all businesses that works with them. Not sure what a noon start does to attendance. Hockey after?

hopefully, spur of the moment thing, so tickets and rooms are a work in process

I don't see how we stop the run this week. It will be frustrating as heck. We started small and just got smaller over the weekend. Time to Belichick up and figure something out. I hadn't seen that many people on skates since I took my family to Skate City. (watching our D Line last week)

Sounds like Morrison might play, albeit not at 100%. Mason Bennett will be out.

Even if UND was completely healthy at defensive line, it would be tough to stop Montana State's running game.

I agree with you; UND will need to scheme some things up to stop the run. Will likely have to play the numbers game and bring an extra player in the box and hope to not get beat on the deep pass.

UND's offense has to show up big time in this game. Freund needs to scheme some things up like he did against UC Davis and score in bunches.

I know I already said this, but SPECIAL TEAMS, SPECIAL TEAMS, SPECIAL TEAMS! UND can win the game if they play flawless in this area, something I'm not comfortable with. Need to make field goals when presented with the opportunity. Need to cover kicks and punts well because the defense needs all the field they can get to defend. Definitely cannot give up a blocked punt ...... alternatively, what if UND blocked a punt? Game changer

With Holm. I wonder if they are giving him the option to red shirt with 4 games.

At this point, it is a pretty safe assumption he's going to redshirt and you can be a bit strategic with the 4 games you put him in. 4 games left on the schedule. Let him play the next 2 if he's close enough to game shape. If you go 1-1 or 2-0 against MSU and Weber, sit him one or both of the next two where he ideally shouldn't be needed as much and give him a possibility of playing a playoff game or two.

Maybe we can talk to Montana State and explain we are real thin with our defensive linemen they might agree that we can have a gentleman’s agreement that neither team will use defensive linemen this game.

If we get our ass kicked in the middle with the status quo it's our own fault.

Yep, coaches new 3 years ago when tank and Greer were Jr's there wasn't much behind them. It wasn't like the lack of depth at NG was something that sprung out of nowhere. So now we are rolling with a true freshman at NG the entire game? Do we even have another NG on the roster? Does Bubba have one year of eligibility left and can play NG?

Contemporary 34 is used mostly to get one on one matchups for star edge rushers. Pure 34 alignments are pretty rare with spread offenses though, it's become various hybrid fronts now. Bubba's style is definitely a rarity these days, 34 zone blitzing with the secondary playing deep quarters. It's a lot of the same stuff from back in the good old days. I honestly can't tell if the scheme is good or not so good. Sometimes it makes teams look terrible, sometimes we get gashed.
